RISK

Why gluecron_update_repo is rated Medium

This tool modifies repository configuration (description, visibility, default branch) but does not delete data or execute arbitrary code. These changes are reversible—the owner can restore previous values. The owner-only requirement mitigates risk but does not change the fundamental Write category.

From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'update'; description explicitly states it 'Update[s] repository description / visibility / default_branch', which are reversible metadata modifications.
